THE DKUMMERs, TRIUMPH,

The drummers, or commercial travellers, of I this great, glorious and comparatively free country are and have reason to be much pleased by the decision given by Judge Sabin 1 in the United States Circuit court, at Calves 1 ton, Texas. The case had become celebrated and was known as the Stockton habeas cor | pus case.
 Robert E. Stockton went from Kansas City l to Texas to ''drum up'' business for his en- ployers. He was arrested while at work in
 Smith county and was charged with selling goods and taking orders by sample without I having paid the drummers' tax imposed by | the State law. He took the matter to the l federal court by habeas corpus proceedings
 and the State of Texas appeared by it's attor- | ney general against his application and was made at it's request party of record Mr. l Steckton's lawyers argued that the Texas law I%imposing tax on citizens who visited the State on such business errands as took him l there was plain violation of the constitution l of the United States, since congress- alone has | the power to regulate commerce among the I tained this view of the law, pronounced the ] law unconstitutional, ordered the immediate l release of MT. Stockton and awarded him his | costs. In the course of his decision he said; I The idea of 8 citizen of the United States be- ' ing challenged anywhere in this nation by any power other than national in the conduct of his lawful business in States other than his own is decidedly absurd and ridiculous He never has had 8 chance to vote in the State not his own upon that subject. x If the power by the constitution has been lodged in congress, as in this case, and con- gress shall not have acted, both States and l people must wait until congress legislates up- l on the subject. There is no State or commu- | nifty of individuals that can make any law at | all upon that subject. The law in question | is utterly void so far as it affects the com
 msrce of citizens of other States having no goods herein, but selling herein by sample.
 This is plain enough and clear enough. ] And it will put an end, for the present at I least, to what has been 8 serious annoyance } to many enterprising business men. It is hard to defeat drummer when he isn't wills ling to be defeated, and they will be more ! invincible than ever now that they have their feet squarely planted upon the constitution of the United States.

 Dr. James 0. White, professor of derma- tology in Harvard university, in 8 recent article said some things that are interesting and are contrary to the common opinion. He says that cooked butter is perfectly harmless food as far as the skin is concerned, and it is difficult to conceive how anyone could have thought otherwise, unless possibly the use of bad butter in food otherwise indigestible may have disturbed the stomach and pro duced impure blood. BuckWheat cakes do not produce cutaneous diseases, unless, i'm properly cooked and eaten hot with too much syrup, they upset the digestion. Oatmeal is perfectly harmless food and the idea that to- matoes cause cancer is ridiculous. Dr. White says that the eating of fruits, nuts and fish may lead to irritation of the skin in certain individuals, but this arises from some cause peculiar to the individual The notions that certain kinds of food are detrimental to the complexion is a false one. A good digestion, and healthy appetite will take care of the skin and it matters little what one eats, if the stomach is allowed to do it's work prop erly and. furnish good material for pure h10od

In order to keep liquor store in Philadel- phia, under the new law, man must first pay fee of $500 in advance.

Then he must have his pc tition for g license accompanied by the cer- tifcate of twelve reputable electors of the ward that they endorse his application and have signed no other such petition in that year.
